Virtio-net driver control queue implementation is not safe
when used with VDUSE. If the VDUSE application does not
reply to control queue messages, it currently ends up
hanging the kernel thread sending this command.

Some work is on-going to make the control queue
implementation robust with VDUSE. Until it is completed,
let's disable control virtqueue and features that depend on
it.

I wonder if it's better to fail instead of a mask as a start.

I think it is better to use a mask and not fail, so that we can in the
future use a recent VDUSE application with an older kernel.

Why would it be better to fail than negotiating?

Thanks,
Maxime

Thanks
